Max Scherzer Throws Live BP Session Tuesday
6 months agoTexas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (back, arm) threw two 20-pitch innings of live batting practice on Tuesday and is hoping the next step will be to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. Offseason surgery on his back caused Scherzer to miss the start of the 2024 regular season, and he was pulled off his initial rehab assignment in early May while dealing with a nerve issue in his right arm. The 39-year-old three-time Cy Young winner is now facing hitters again and could start a rehab assignment soon, but there remains no timetable for him to make his season debut for the Rangers. The eight-time All-Star may not have much left in the tank at this point in his career, but he should still have a rotation spot waiting for him in Texas when the club clears him to rejoin the big-league roster. In 27 starts for the Rangers and Mets in 2023, Scherzer went 13-6 with a 3.77 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and 174:45 K:BB in 152 2/3 innings.
